Geum Bok, a naïve aspiring actor from the countryside, moves to Seoul — only to be scammed and kissed by Bi Hyeong, Dokkaebi — the goblin king. Uniquely able to transfer energy to Bi Hyeong safely, Geum Bok is brought…
When naive countryside dreamer Geum Bok moves to Seoul to pursue his acting ambitions, he quickly learns the city is no fairy tale—until he’s literally kissed by one. Bi Hyeong, a centuries-old dokkaebi (goblin king), rescues the flustered aspiring actor from a scam gone wrong, only to realize Geum Bok possesses a rare ability: he can safely transfer life essence to replenish Bi Hyeong’s fading powers. Thrust into a supernatural cohabitation, Geum Bok gets protection and rent-free housing in exchange for his energetic “payments.” But as the two navigate ghostly threats, a jealous nine-tailed fox ex-lover, and a meddling goddess disguised as a schoolgirl, their transactional arrangement begins to spark something deeper. Blending Korean folklore with modern-day chaos, this whimsical romp explores destiny, found family, and whether a mortal and an immortal can truly write their own happily-ever-after.
